We offer accommodation both in shared apartments with other participants and with Spanish families. This is a optional service and not mandatory.

These apartments are usually in more modern building than the standard apartments. Normally they offer a complete bathroom for every 1 or 2 students. They can be within 20 minutes from school using public transport. The room size is at least 12m2. Some of these apartments may have additional services in the building, such as pool, or your room might have a TV, king-size bed, or an extra couch. In both cases, comfort and standard, the apartments have Internet connection and the rooms are outward-facing, with natural light and should be well equipped with bed, wardrobe and a desk individually.

Standard Apartment**

Example for a Standard room

The furniture in these apartments is older than the furniture in the comfort apartments. They are almost always located in the neighborhood of Benimaclet or just a walk away from the school. It offers a complete bathroom (shower or bath) for every 2 or 3 students. If there are more than 3 students, at least an extra toilet will be available. The size of the rooms could be less than 12m2. In both cases, comfort and standard, the apartments have Internet connection and the rooms are outward-facing, with natural light and should be well equipped with bed, wardrobe and a desk individually.

Tips:

If you are staying in Valencia for a longer period und you would like to save money, we recommend that you book accommodation with us for the first 4 weeks (host families or shared flat) and then look for a room in a shared student flat by yourself. It is not difficult to find a room in Valencia due to the great amount of students and student flats in this city. However, we strongly recommend not to book rooms on the internet and not to make any payments prior to your arrival, because you might have an unpleasant surprise. It is far more advisable to visit the flats and see you roommates before you decide.
